Let x+y=18---(1), y+z=12---(2),z+x=16---(3) Solving (2)-(3) we get y+z-z-x=12-16 y-x=-4--(4) Solving (4)+(5) we get x+y+y-x=18-4 2y=14 y=14/2=7 Substitute y value in (1) x+7=18 x=18-7=11 Substitute x value in (3) z+11=16 z=16-11=5 x=11, y=7, z=5

(X+y)+(y+z)+(z+x)=46 2(x+y+z)=46 X+y+z=23 ...................we know x+y=18 18+z=23 we get z=5 .................

x+y +y+z+z+x=18+12+16 or,2(x+y+z)=46 or x+y+z=23....x=11,y=7,z=5

What is the meaning of ^ in maths?
The symbol ^ is generally used to denote exponents or powers. For ex : 2^3 = 8 (which simply means that 2 is raised to the power 3 , which results in 8) More examples : 5^2 = 25. 6^2 = 36

How many triangles can be drawn having its angles as 45°, 64° and 72°? Give reason for your answer.
Zero triangles.. we cant draw triangle with these angles. but the given angles are 45,64.72. if we add those we get 45+64+72=181. so we cannot draw triangle.
